3V-L DL: Pediatric Difficult Intubation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is perceived as the optimal method of providing and maintaining a clear and secure airway. The 2010 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines emphasized the importance of minimal interruption during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). These guidelines also suggest that skilled operators should be able to secure the airway without interrupting chest compression. The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of the Vividtrac video-laryngoscope and the Miller laryngoscope for emergency intubation during simulated pediatric CPR.

Experimental: Endotracheal intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.). |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time to intubation [1 day]
time from insertion of the blade to the first manual ventilation of the manikinĀ“s lungs. If time of intubation is over than 60 seconds, attempt was recognized as failure
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Success of intubation [1 day]
effectiveness of the first, second and third intubation attempts and overall effectiveness of intubation by participants using four intubation devices. If the examinee failed at all attempts, the case was excluded from the time calculations. Visual Analog scale (VAS) score
- Cormack-Lehane grading [1 day]
self-reported percentage the vocal cord visualization using the Cormack-Lehane grading (grade 1-4)
